Miniatures I can afford?

From your flag I see you are American. I have some bad news for you. We here in Australia are seeing $50 clampack characters. Those $30 ones you just got (the assassins) are $53 for us. You might not have $53 characters in 2016, but our prices aren't more than 2 years of rises ahead of you so you can look forward to 2017

Canadian prices are almost as bad, and in a few cases, *cough*wraithknight*cough*, we actually pay more than you guys!

And jumping south of the border isn't really an option these days, as our dollar has tanked so hard.

I want GW to finally acknowledge true scale space marines in all their glory and begin releasing models of them like this:

Truescale Marines are the ones you can buy in the box in your local GW. It is everything else that is out of scale (esp Cadians). Just about every "truescale" example I've seen (strangely not the ones above) looks like someone went out and stuck Peter Crouch on a torture rack.

I would love to see GW realizing that the Calth set is selling so well because of the cheap discounts and continue that trend.

Also more 30k heresy plastics. there's way too much crap in 40k Right now for me to keep up with and there's a lot to be had with 30k plastics.

Guess you don't follow the iron sleet guys then.



It would be like printing money for GW. Obviously they could't invalidate the existing range, but selling them under the guise of "collectors edition" models or something would be easy enough.

I've seen them. Whilst they're well done, they look like they are awfully out of scale and made for a different scaled game entirely.

1) Battle at Calth expansions.
2) a dedicated FAQ/Errata team.
3) ANY new models for Chaos, not NEW units, NEW models of very old sculpts.
4) Drop Age of Sigmar
5) Dropper bottles for paints

@Grimtuff

Don't look out of scale to me. Look in scale with those guardsmen considering each one is meant to be 2.1 meters tall.

As I already said, it is the Cadians that are out of scale. Not the SMs. Put a truescale Marne next to a DKOK guy and the guardsman will look like a child by comparison due to the stupidly overscaled marine.

Yeah, Cadians need a definitely overhaul when it comes to their kit. The older models for IG like the Mordians and Armaggedon Steel Legion are all scaled to a smaller size than SM so its just that the Cadians are the exception.

This coming year, I would like to see a formal apology for what GW did to my killa kans.
After that, maybe some new Chaos Space Marines. They have such beautiful models, but their rules are physically painful to read.

Have the points all be multiples of 5

Gods no. GW has been stuck in a rut for a while now thinking that all upgrades and new units should come in point values of a multiple of five. The problem is that some upgrades are not five points better than the previous edition. GW should go back to giving their upgrades odd numbers of points so that the cost of the upgrade accurately reflects its usefulness.

Wow, stop being such a grump towards superbly converted and painted miniatures. They look great and in scale next to any GW miniatures (and back on topic, GW would make lots of people happy releasing models like these).

I'd like to see a way to make a Deathwing army more viable.

Something like the new Ravenguard formations would be great.

let my DK Knights smash in the face of something on the first turn they arrive.

I'd like to see a game store/gaming group appear where I live.

I agree that they look amazing and better on poportions than the GW sculpts. But when you compare the Alpha Legionaires to the guardsmen their height is quite off.

Correct!

Actually, the only things that are truly out of scale are the IG models. The average Imperial Guardsman model represents a guy who is 250 lbs and stands 6'5" tall, rather than the 160 lbs and 5'8" height of what we're more accustomed to. And it's not the Cadians that are the worst - it's the Catachans.

It's no accident that I'm using metal IG from 2E alongside my 3E+ plastic SMs.

GW ceasing to be a bunch of pricks and arseholes who can't fething desing rules and armies in a correct way as to stop the bs.

Also they should stop snorting braking fluids and eating crack, because it doesn't do them any good really...

For me, it would be a deathwing supplement or campaign book, this could address the issues with deathwing by actually fixing them, a massive point reduction (30pts) and then roll it out to all the marine books, including chaos (27pts), this would make me happy, throw in some deathwing Warlord Traits, Relics etc.

Like others have said all the older codices should be updated and brought up to the 7.5 edition powerlevel.
Chaos space marines is a huge task for updating but honestly should be done first.

I have some specific wish listing for dark eldar that I play. Obviously bring the powerlevel up to 7.5 edition level.
Probably need to lower points costs on a bunch of units, mainly wyches.
Most importantly dark eldar needs a LoW slot filler like a GC and or super heavy vehicle.
Also any other major armies missing a LoW type should get one in their update to 7.5

I also don't agree with all the notions to switch to 8 edition so soon and that this edition or balancing is hopeless.
First of all they should finish the work started on updating and balancing all the codices before they go and
throw a huge wrench in the balancing process with a new edition.
Also the rulebooks should continue a path of incremental evolution in tightening up the rules by building on
the previous edition like from 6th to 7th Ed. But a new edition so soon is absurd and will drive a lot of people away.
Unless it was free. Updating the remaining codices will fix most of the problems currently with the game.

Simple stuff, like putting in the box of minis ur buying everything they can be equiped with in the codex.

Lolwut, you mean your army has plastic models to begin with? My SoB still don't (except for the Immolator kit and most of the Exorcist tank). Hell, we don't even get a printed Codex unless we print the digital one ourself!

Since nothing's been done about those issues and there's also incredible power differences between armies (not to mention still rules to fight over instead of watertight text) I don't really expect anything of GW. Maybe they'll tank and close their doors so someone sensible can buy up the IP and start publishing books that have actually been proofread and tested.

This is why we need Ward back. He knew how crunch works...

No, we need weapon blisters. GW needs to release one blister for DA/SW/BA/SM/CSM with at least two of each melee weapon, two of each special weapon and one of each heavy weapon

This. Even tho it'll never happen.

Major Chaos revamp and update the Dark Eldar, followed by nids.
